Inventor: CARLONI CARLO
Filed: 1904-04-29
Granted: 1904-06-02
Abstract: 9866. Lake, H. H., [Carloni, C.]. April 29. Brakes for cycles &c. Relates to improvements in brake mechanism such as is described in Specification No. 26,977, A.D. 1902, whereby the brakes are adapted for instantaneous or continued application. The brake is applied by a flexible cable d, Fig. 1, attached to a pivoted lever c on the handlebar a. The cable terminates in a stud f bearing against a lug e on the lever, by moving which the brakes are instantaneously applied. A clamp g engaging a shoulder on the stud f has attached to it a screw h on which works a winged nut j bearing against a wall and sleeve i on the lever. By rotating the nut j, the cable can be shortened or lengthened to regulate the brake, or the brake gradually and continuously applied. In the modification shown in Fig. 4, the screw h is fixed to the nut p and works in a stirrup l to actuate the cable. In another form, shown in Fig. 5, the nut is rotated by bevel gear and a hand-wheel m, and, in another modification, the nut extends through slots in the lever as in an adjustable spanner. The cable may be similarly operated by an internally screw - threaded handle mounted loosely on the lever, or by a nandle q, Fig. 8, combined with a stirrup as shown in Fig. 4. Instead of a stirruppiece, a nut r, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, may be used.

Patent GB-190418427-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gear
Inventor: RETTIE JAMES
Filed: 1904-08-25
Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 18,427. Rettie, J. Aug. 25. Driving-mechanism.-Relates to a variable-speed gear, obtained by utilizing the irregular movements of a universal joint, applicable to cycles &c. Upon the stationary axle A is pivotally mounted, by a pin 2, a bracket bearing B, the outer end B<1> of which supports one end of a cylinder F. In axial line with the pin 2 is arranged a universal joint, consisting of a ring E hinged at opposite ends of two mutually perpendicular diameters, to the end E' of the cylinder F, and to the part E<1> of a sleeve D which slides on the axle A behind the enlargement 1. Upon the sleeve D is loosely mounted a bossed disc with projecting lugs M, M<1>, to which is hinged, in direct line with the universal joint E and the pivot 2 of the bearing-bracket B, a holder N. This holder lies around the cylinder F, and carries, by means of lugs 3, 4, 5, 6, two arms 7, 8 which are connected to pawl-carriers K, Kl, slidably mounted in an undercut channel J formed round the cylinder F, and engaging with ratchet teeth formed on the remote side of the collar G by means of the pawls 9, 10, provided with overlapping teeth. The hinged bearing B can be moved eccentrically by means of a lever C to which is connected a cam B<2>, which fits in a corresponding recess in the outer end B<1> of the bearing. The sleeve D is intended to take a -chainwheel. Thus, when the sleeve is driven and the bearing B lies in axial line with the axle, the whole apparatus turns as a solid body, but, when the lever C is depressed so as to move the bearing B and consequently the cylinder F, holder N, &c., away from the axle, the regular movement of the sleeve D becomes modified into an irregular alternately fast and slow motion due to the universal joint. The connection through the ratchet teeth provides that the fast impulses serve to drive the machine, while the momentum of the latter keeps up the motion while the ratchet is slipping during the slow phase of the rotation of the universal joint.

Granted: 1904-12-22
Abstract: 25,375. Gipe, E. C. Nov. 22. Mechanical despatch apparatus.-In carriers for conveying packages upon elevated wireways, two wires 10, 15, Fig. 1, one above the other, are employed to act against opposing wheels of the carrier, the receptacle of which may be automatically attached to, or detached from, the car, while excessive jarring is prevented at the end of the journey of the car. The receptacle is raised into the position shown in Fig. 1 by pulling on the cord 54, which raises the stud 100, Fig. 6, upon the bar 43 until it engages the finger 85, thus lifting the trigger 80 into the position shown, and releasing the detent 78, on the dog 77, from the notch 79 and throwing the dog forwards by means of the spring 89, which is stronger than the spring 97, until stopped by the cross-bar 43. The receptacle is then locked to the car by the enclosure of plugs in housings. On releasing the cord, the arms 49, Fig. 1, are depressed by the action of the spring 51, and the hooks 65 are lowered to permit the loops, which are fastened to the receptacle to be free on forwarding the car. The cord 36 is then pulled, which action draws the fitting 30 and with it the rod 29 downwards, and thereby forces one end of the lever 12 downwards. Force is thus applied to the lever 8, and the car unlocked and the wires 10, 15 drawn apart with considerable force against the rear opposing wheels of the car. The car is propelled along the wires until the stop mechanism 120, Fig. 11, at the cashier's desk engages the catch 27, Fig. 1. In order to return the car, the lever 126, Fig. 11, bifurcated to receive a roller which moves along the rod 121, is pulled back, and the wires spread apart by means of the levers and springs shown. The roller moves along the rod 121 until near the hooked end, and the portion 112, 125 is thrown vertically upwards, thus bringing the end 116 of the wire 10 away from the wire 15. Buffer plates are provided to cushion the vibration of the receptacle when the car is stopped.
